Constitutive theory for gels by considering molecular frictions

Submitted by bin.chen on

By directly considering molecular frictions induced on polymer chains, we have developed a nonaffine constitutive theory for large stretch behaviors of gels.

The candidates should have a Ph. D in computer science, computational materials science, physics, mathematics or engineering.

Seeking a Postdoc Position in Computational Mechanics and Machine Learning

Submitted by gjwang on

I am a postdoc in the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UCLA.  I got a bachelor's degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Harbin Institute of Technology (ranking 1st in our major). I obtained my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Prof. Zdenek Bazant Plenary Lecture at ICDM 4 in Baton Rouge

Submitted by Cemal Basaran on

Prof. Zdenek Bazant (Northwestern University, USA) sent me a copy of the plenary lecture he delivered at Int. Conf. on Damage Mechanics 4 at LSU on May 15, 2023, to be posted. The lecture is about a critique of the theoretical inconsistencies in the Phase Field and Peridynamics techniques. Remarkably interesting talk that will create a significant discussion about the validity of these methods..
